Yes and no. That complication exists for AMD as well and causes the todo in https://reviews.llvm.org/D158382. The solution to both problems is somewhat clear and somewhat murky. If we would do the clang handling first, we could remember the upper bounds and do the llvm handling after. Right now it is the other way around and the clang handling would need to be 1) made aware of existing upper bounds, and 2) made aware of existing annotations (NVIDIA only).

I'm thinking about how to solve this best. I believe for now this is not a big problem and the progress is worth it.
